Surprise Central – Challenging Ideas
Have you ever wanted to surprise someone but didn’t have an idea on how to go about it? Either you didn’t know how to, didn’t have the time to plan an elaborate one, or maybe you just ran out of ideas. In this “outsource-everything” world, you can surprise someone by outsourcing your surprise. This is where Chennai-based startup Surprise Machi comes into the picture.
The process of planning a surprise with Surprise Machi is simple. All you have to do is visit its website, share your occasion, the interests of the person you want to surprise, and your budget. And Surprise Machi will do the rest. The startup does not believe in selling the usual ideas or gifts to surprise someone, its USP is 100 percent customised ideas. What makes it different from others is that it sells surprises along with gifts.
Surprise Central
Bhagya Prabhu, who worked in advertising prior to starting up, had toyed with the idea of starting a portal for surprises. It materialized when she found similar interests in her friend Shahul Hameed. Shahul, who was working as a data analyst in Dubai, left his job and settled in Chennai to support the startup.
It also has a personal adviser Shahul Ahmed, who has been working with them right from the beginning. Bhagya has a background in Visual communication, and her creativity helped with Surprise Machi as well as in planning the surprises.
